Question

2/5 of a stick is painted red.1/3 of it is painted white.the remaining part is painted blue.what part of the stick is painted blue?

Answer 1

total stick = x

red = 2/5 x

white =1/3 x

blue = total - ( red + white )

blue = x - ( 2/5 x + 1/3 x )

blue = x - ( 6/15 x + 5/15 x )

blue = x - 1/15 x

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let whole part = x

red painted = 2x/5

white painted = x/3

blue painted = x - (2x/5 + x/3)

= x - ((6x + 5x)/15)

= x - 11x/15

= (15x - 11x)/15

= 4x/15
